This is my cute little Uromastyx named Bowser, hes 2 years old. I got him, his tank, and his other essentials all for free from my sisters friend (she couldn't take care of him anymore). He like to eat fruit, wears a sombrero, and has a leash to take him on walks. The coolest Lizard I know and I love him <3

Congratulations!!! I have a Yellow Uro. too, unfortunately he was wild caught and after almost three years still isn't used to human interaction. :P I don't know how much fruit Bowser eats on average but fruit should be used sparingly in uro. diets. Dark, leafy greens should be the biggest part of his diet, especially escarole and endive (I find that you can get them at small markets for pretty cheap or just get them in big bunches at your local grocery store). :D Stuff like spinach and kale and collards are good too, but should be used on a bi-weekly basis as they're pretty high in oxalates (in the spinach) and goitrogens (in the kale/collards) which can contribute to MBD. Sorry to go off on a tangent there, I'm excited for you and Bowser to have a wonderful life together! :D
Stuff like endive, escarole, bok choy, collards, mustard greens, turnip greens, etc. As long as you're feeding/offering leafy greens every day you should be fine. Just try to rotate the kinds of greens you give him every week. Millet and bird seed (and lentils) are a good start but if you see signs of dehydration, stop offering them immediately because breaking down the dry seeds can strain their kidneys. I think Wal-Mart should carry stuff like that, especially bigger Wal-Marts in nicer neighborhoods/areas since they tend to have a larger selection. :)
No problem! You can also feed this to him if you can find it in a pet store near you: http://www.exo-terra.com/en/product.....ets_iguana.php
I sprinkle some in my uro.'s tank every other day and he likes to forage for them :3
Edit: Be sure to get the 'juvenile' one and not the 'adult' one!
